14TODO: destry_inv() should destroy, drop_inv_to_ground method? 19 - (maps) add gorokh_final mapset from crossfire.
15TODO: no detah messages for arena anymore 20 - (maps) block most vault-type mlab locations, open up
16TODO: remove curse should *maybe* work on players themselves 21 imperial converters for anybody to use.
17TODO: remove curse in glyph/rune doesn't have any effect? 22 - (maps, arch) replace all permanent stat potions by random
18TODO: nothing is written on it -> log-1 23 variants.
19TODO: rewrite highscore code 24 - (maps) spread gorokh demon styles more evenly over 1..100.
25 - TRIGGER events got passed a garbage pointer instead of a
26 real player object on player changes.
27 - diseases and maybe other things could sometimes reduce the speed
28 to below MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, deactivating the monster and causing
29 much grief.
30 - speed_left randomisation was, apparently, totally broken.
31 - introduce FLAG_RANDOM_SPEED instead of using the sign bit
32 of the speed slot internally and in map save files. among other
33 things, this gets rid of all the abs (speed) calls.
34 - reduce map file save files by using abridged keywords aliases.
35 - shop specialisation calculation was totally broken.
36 - nrof/itemcount/volume limits when dropping to the floor are
37 now enforced.
38 - fix magic mapping, which only worked for inate spell casting.
39 - godgiven items will now be explicitly described as such.
40 - (arch) dded a quiver of bolts.
41 - materialnames would change "randomly" on every load, only
42 set the material when the materialname was not set before.
43 - balancing change, halve rod recharge speed (instead
44 of 4.8s, the standard rods now recharge in ~10s. not a solution,
45 but still.
46 - reduce cpu time used for map saving by >>50% by avoiding
47 the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple
48 repeat-cache for speed_left.
49 - always delay stats update for players on insert/remove till
50 next tick/command, which saves a lot of cpu cycles on drop/take.
51 - add hint about havign to run to attach unaggressive npcs.
52 - pet monster level was not displayed correctly in "showpets index".
53 - clean up floating point conversions and many similar nitpicks.
54 - fix hanuk altar.
55 - overhaul material system to be much faster, and having less bugs, but
56 still having a lot of cruft :/.
57 - add marble shop floor.
58 - move gcc specifics to new file include/compiler.h.
59 - unrecognised cfpod directives could cause undefined behaviour.
60 - added boes' marble shop to steinwandstadt.
61 - pad mapspace to power-of two size for speed/codesize/cache gains.
62 - optimise mapspace updates.
63 - cache volume/items per mapspace.
64 - use fabs, min and max consistently (surprisingly for a code size
65 decrease).
66 - fixed a small uncleanlieness in item converters, which might
67 have led to weird item multiplications.
68 - store hash value in shstr, not used by anything, but doesn't use much memory.
69 - fixed crash bug in learn_spell command.
70 - remove all traces of FLAG_NO_FIX_PLAYER.
71 - avoid sv_derived_from calls (lots of hash lookups) when converting
72 from perl to c++.
73 - implemented least_significand_bit and for_all_bits_sparse_32 utilities
74 and use it in some "inner" loops.
75 - rename flags to attachable_flags to avoid confusion :=).
76 - fixed jeweler experience output to not be floating point.
77 - added lock/unlock commands, thanks for the patch go to Shawn Robinson!
78 - (arch, maps) introduce inactive_shop_floor and fix some shops with it.
79 - try to prefetch memory inside process_objects, which can give
80 enourmous speed gains.
81 - make some small optimisation to the process_objects loop.
82 - move facedata chksum calculation into cfutil, make server more flexible
83 handling different chksum lengths.
84 - check for hash collisions in cfutil.
85 - reduce face checksum size from 6 to 4 bytes.
86 - don't crash when a map uses empty sound/sound_destroy/face.
87 - removed weather-specific attributes.
88 - fixed genkeywords dependency.
89 - do not clear "randomitems" slot for world underlays.
90 - use "sl" as short-hand for speed_left in save-files, just to make them
91 smaller.

93 anymore, due to get_str never returning a 0-pointer.
94 - code cleanup in move_symptom.
95 - removed arch_to_object (replaced it by ->instance ()).

21TODO: greeting message on what to do in dialog after race selection. 972.90 Sat Nov 7 15:06:06 CET 2009
22TODO: health bars for earthwalls seem to start at 100% end die at 50% 98 - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told
99 multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL,
100 lock up the source code of the server within his company.
101 some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make
102 it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep
103 Deliantra free software even for the coming generations
104 and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing
105 good in mind for free software.
106 - clarify which files of the server are 100% AGPL.
107 - minor reorganisation, move some GPL code into other files.
108 - implement viewpoint (which is like observe, but only for the map,
109 not stats etc.).
110 - replace magic mapping overlay by a flying bird exposing area
111 on the worldmap (ext/magic_mapping.ext).
112 - @find in npc dialog was useless as the vairbale wasn't accessible.

120 mapsets from crossfire, together with associated archetypes.

122 - (maps) define a new whalingoutpost region.
123 - (maps, arch) add all changes to mlab between 2006-08-01 and 2009-10-28,
124 and most archetypes that go with them (without stoning and swallow effects),
125 casino tokens and stock certificates are also missing.
126 - (maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar
127 and santo dominion.
128 - (maps, arch) added gotischerbereich from cfextended, and some archetypes
129 to go with them. also adjusted archetypes to be more korrekt "gotisch".
130 - doors/containers can now use "match ..." expressions for the slaying field.
131 - properly close client-side dialogue when the player is teleported away.
132 - map-tags did not properly close it's database tables or wait
133 for a quiescent state, causing memory corruption on reload.
134 - support "stat.xyz" accessor in match expressions.
135 - skip /styles and /editor directories in cf::map::static_maps.
136 - implement ->send_big_packet and use it in ext_msg (among other things, this
137 fixes long answers from npc dialogue).
138 - connected magic mouths no longer spill to Log-1, but use the examine tab.
139 - (arch) change marker archetypes to not remove "marker" forces anymore
140 and to not add a "put your code here" force needlessly.
141 - (arch) fix or improve many plurals.
142 - markers do no longer add a force if the slaying field is unset.
143 - sped up search-items implementation, but it's still horrible.
144 - (maps) bigchests are now properly non-unique, per_player and no_reset.
145 - editor_folder can now be used to override whatever cfutil sets, and was
146 used to reogianise the illogical arch tree a bit.
147 - (maps) import most map names from crossfire.
148 - nuke image_sums/image_info subcommands from the protocol.
149 - fly_high movement gives better los, ignoring blocksview.

175 - got rid of motd/rules/news code in C++ part, move motd to it's own tab

179 - create simpler match expression compiles in many common cases.
180 - reduce object size by removing obsolete "seen_by" member.
181 - removed the rather broken make_list_like utility function, taking advantage
182 of the new dynbuf::splice function (which gave an unexpected net win

2032.81 Mon Oct 12 20:00:18 CEST 2009
204 - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls,
205 but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators).
206 - fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags
207 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where
208 and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this
209 allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to
210 walk on.

213 is a wizard (wizlook).

233 - fix a bug where recasting an ability changing spell could shorten
234 its remaining duration.

247
2482.80 Tue Sep 15 20:22:31 CEST 2009
249 - fix the "screen stays black on login" bug and remove debug instrumentation
250 that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :)
251 - split outer_env into outer_env and outer_env_self, and fix
252 all callers to use either one or the other, as appropriate. This
253 fixes the (rather fragile) light spell, maybe others.
254 - fixed an overflow and exploit in the bank/payment code.
255 - fixed a bug in the jeweler quest and added the 'Tome of Jewelery'
256 to explain the skill a bit more.
